For ‘idle’ power draw, a reading was taken after having Windows open on the desktop for 30 minutes. A reading under load was taken with Prime 95’s SmallFFt test running alongside 3DMark Fire Strike.
Power consumption is very low – the load figure is less than half of the RM650x's rated capacity. This ensures a quiet power supply fan, while the PSU should also be operating at its peak efficiency level.
Dominic can I ask what’s with the fingerprints again? It’s a case with a glass window, did it arrive like that or is that from handling? It’s hugely obvious even on the main picture on the title page and if it arrived like that it’s a QA issue, I wouldn’t be very happy with it.

I believe it arrived like that although I could not be sure in the slightest
